Nurses and doctors used to be (note past tense) respected for their altruism and commitment to the individual patient.  Patients welcomed doctors into their homes for house calls.  Patients had faith in their chosen provider's training and judgment.  Together, patient and chosen physician made personal, confidential medical decisions with no other (third) party involved.  

Patients had a medical right to choose, and physicians had authority that corresponded with their responsibilities.  Physicians' work used to be highly valued both by word and deed — i.e., compensation, especially after years of relative poverty in school and post-graduate training.

All of this has been lost, distorted, or destroyed. 

Now, there is the presumption that when a patient does poorly, it is automatically the doctor's fault.  Government warns patients not to trust their doctors by enforcing clinical guidelines, algorithms, and crisis standards of care to "protect" the patient from the doctor.

No worries. They will soon have 2 year DEI medical degrees to quickly fill the void.

Socialized medicine in the United States will have the same shortages of doctors in other countries with socialized medicine such as England and Canada.

Lots of health care people quit to find better ethics during the plandemic. Some places over half of the nurses quit. Doctors were disbarred for speaking out and even medical licenses pulled.

Let’s see: I have a Filipino-American Cardiologist, who replaced my retired Cuban-American Cardiologist. I have a Peruvian-American Urologists of Italian heritage. I have two Oncologists, one is Scottish-American and the other is Cuban/Mexican-American.
Well my Primary care doctor is from Ohio. She replaced the guy from East Africa.
What I think is, we have plenty of doctors, the problem is the United States does not raise doctors anymore. We have to import them

You change the work environment; it changes individuals’ choice of career to enter. It also changes existing physician retirement choices. The government geniuses believed they could make substantial changes in the healthcare system and the physician supply would remain constant. Unfortunately, there is never any accountability for stupid mistakes not even in the recorded history since the government geniuses control the historical record.

Maybe now they’ll learn that going woke was a big mistake!

I've never heard of such ridiculous claims. Health care workers are in the front lines of society. They would not last long if they predicated the treatments which they administer based upon ethnic or religious attributes of their patients.

I have the highest regard for healthcare workers. However candy ass "journalists" and pensters and the "news" media rate at the bottom of my charts. Even lower than car salesmen.

Self-inflicted by the government and medical community.

We’ve been seeing it here in NH.

I don’t think it’s entirely morale. It’s mainly that the medical education system is managed so that there will be a shortage.

Maybe the “Bell Curve” has something to do with it. The Bell Curve book is a study about IQ by race.

I’m in Salem, OR, with Kaiser Permanente. Tried several times int he last month. Can’t get a doctor appt with any doctor in my city. Zip, none.

From 2020. Read it and weep, gang.

We’re Devastatingly Short on Doctors. Why Doesn’t the US Just Make More? Believe it or not, that's up to Congress.
